BR 1-08: The Treasure Chest

I read a book "The Treasure Chest". Of course, this book is the magic key series.

First, I write about story of this book. The children were in pool with Mrs May. Every week Mrs May took some of the children to the swimming pool. The children were good at swimming, so they like to go with Mrs May. The children were taking swimming test, and swimming test was time to begin. Swimming test started. Biff, Chip, Wilma and Nadim jumped into the pool. The water was warm. The children had to swim up and down the pool. They had to swim 10 lengths. Wilma was first to swim 10 lengths and Biff and Nadim were next. It was hard for Chip to swim the 10 lengths. Everyone cheered for Chip, so Chip went on and he could swim 10 lengths. Everyone was pleased, and Chip was pleased, too. Next, the children had to swim to bottom of the pool. They had to pick up a brick and swim with it to the top. The swimming test finished. All the children passed the swimming test. Mrs May was very pleased, and the children were pleased too. Biff and Chip told Mum and Dad about the swimming test. Mum and Dad were very pleased too. Mum and Dad had a surprise for them. Biff and Chip couldn't see what the surprise was. It was a fish tank. Biff and Chip were pleased at it. Everyone looked at the fish swimming about in the tank. As there are few fish, Dad went shopping with his children next day. Dad took them to a shop that sold fish. There were big fish and little fish. Kipper liked the big fish in a tank. Dad bought some fish, and they went home. Dad put some more fish in the tank. He put rocks on the bottom, and next to the rocks he put a ship and a little box. Wilma and Nadim came to see the fish tank. They thought that they want to swim in a tank. After they finished seeing it, they went to play in Biff's room. Chip ran in with the magic key. The magic key was glowing. The magic began to work. It took the children into a new adventure. This time it was a different sort of adventure. The magic took them underwater. The children had masks and flippers and tanks of air. They could swim underwater. There were a lot of fish which the children had never seen in there. The children loved swimming under the water. It was lovely to see all the fish and to swim with them. Chip and Nadim swam to the bottom and picked up a big shell. Biff looked at a jellyfish but she didn't swim too close. When they were swimming for a while, they saw a ship under the water. It was an old ship that had been under the water for a long time. They swam up to the ship. It looked dangerous. There was a chest near the ship. When they swam up too the chest, they saw an octopus. The octopus was sitting on a chest. They couldn't look inside the chest with an octopus sitting on the lid. They blew bubbles at the octopus. The octopus didn't like the bubbles so it swam away. The children opened up the chest and looked inside. It was a treasure chest and it was full of gold. Biff and Wilma pushed the chest over and all the gold fell out. As Biff and Nadim were busy looking at the treasure, they didn't see what Chip and Wilma saw. A shark was coming. Chip and Wilma couldn't tell Biff and Nadim, so they pulled them away and pointed at the shark. They were surprised at it, and they swam away hastily. The shark swam after them. They were frightened. Then the magic key began to glow. The magic key took them out of adventure. They felt relief. Biff thought that the treasure chest was like the one in their fish tank. At that, the children ran to look in the fish tank, there was the treasure in the box in a tank.

Next, I write my impression. I felt this book was interesting too. I envied because the magic key took the children various places. I want to experience adventure of the magic key once. If I could experience, I want to warp the deep past.
